You shouldn't try to do this:
1. As you point out, it's not your key so you're assuming ownership
of something that isn't yours.
2. #1 is a violation of component rules.
3. What happens if the original owner of the key (i.e., the .NET
Framework) wants to change it?
4. What happens when the user uninstalls your app?
5. Lastly, it's not necessary: The cache service is an on-demand
service and starts automatically when needed. If an app /needs/ it
set to Automatic, the app needs fixing.
